Rams watch: Myles Garrett injury timeline could impact Browns draft pick
The Cleveland Browns 2027 NFL draft could be dramatically impacted by Myles Garrett’s injury and his Rams injury return
The Cleveland Browns are eagerly hoping for a strong Week 2 performance in the 2026 NFL season, focusing on the NFL playoffs rather than the 2027 NFL draft. However, the Los Angeles Rams' trade involving defensive end Myles Garrett is impacting their draft strategy for the upcoming years. Garrett's injury timeline is a major concern due to his crucial role on the Rams' defense.
After a poor performance in Week 1, Garrett underwent knee surgery and is now facing an extended recovery period. Initially expected to return in six weeks, he is now projected to miss around nine weeks of play. Despite the cautious approach taken by the Rams' coaching staff, it remains to be seen how Garrett's extended absence will affect the Browns' draft pick in the 2027 NFL draft.
